Had a great time at the Lexi Whyte Fundraiser where the combined efforts of all those involved - from the organizers, bands (Mr. Furious and Glow) to the Studio 82 club, Calgary  - were able to raise over $4,000.

Originally thought I'd be painting folks with UV paints but instead implemented "plan B" and did glitter tattoos as well.  A lot of brave Calgary

guys got sparkly for the cause and ladies too, of course.  It was pretty much a gigantic tinkerbell attack!  If everyone wishes really hard, maybe we will be able to Fly?

Some of the Calgary customers came up with some creative ideas for the glitter tattoos. One of the examples of a creative glitter tattoo is the combination of the devil heart glitter tattoo with the crown glitter tattoo on top. 

To view the whole album please go to the Face Book Page of Calgary-based  Facial Expressions.

Tonight, Friday, January 27th, Facial Expressions will be doing UV face and body painting at Calgary's Studio 82 nightclub.  Proceeds from face painting will benefit the Lexi White Foundation.  Please visit the Lexi White fundraising group on Facebook to find out more about this Calgary girl whose medical condition is so rare and severe that it has becoming financially impossible for her family and the medical system to provide the treatment and support that she requires.

Facial Expressions had a great night once again at the Ranchman's Cookhouse and Dance Hall in Calgary, AB.  Brought our Glitter Tattoos to the weekly ladies night.  Had fun watching folks who really know how to dance in between putting some "bling" in their "swing" with cowboy hat glitter tattoos, devil heart tattoos, as well as hand-drawn paw prints and more.  Calgary cowboys and cowgirls sure know how to have fun!

"The organizers responsible for the Kid's Village at the Maple Festival des Sucres 2011, in Calgary AB, were more than satisfied with the quality of the face painters on the children. They were also happy with the timeliness of the face painting.  Parents were thrilled to see the happy smiles of their children after going to Facial Expressions. Colette, Thank you very much for this great work and be sure we will re-use your facepainting services again for another of our Calgary events."

"Thanks again Colette for painting my belly. That was a lot of fun. You were wonderful and very creative. I really enjoyed seeing the artwork coming together while my future kids kicked the canvas. I think they liked the experience as much as I did. I'd highly recommend belly painting and will be referring my expecting girlfriends here in Calgary for some fun pampering.  Before too long Facial Expressions facepainters will be painting the faces of our kids."
